I have been busy today. I swapped in my coilovers,oil change,front brakes, new coils, plugs and the HKS DLI and harness, and my Progress adjustable sways and AWR endlinks. Some minor glitches with the endlinks...but nothing serious that a few new parts won't cure

I got all this done in about 4 hours....with light rain to cool me off.


All I have left is to change the brake fluid and bleed the brakes

Back to work....

kristopher_d

Boy, you have been busy. And lucky for me, the spring procedure will be fresh in your mind.

You guys are so lucky to be able to work on your cars in the middle of the day. I hate being stuck in an office

Today is a holiday.......Not a Stat...but over 50% of people get it off here!

I'll be back on a stool for the rest of the week

Your springs should be a piece of cake....

I think I'll try and give advise and watch I have a difficult time not jumping in and doing it myself...then no-one will learn anything....

Update! The game starts at 2:30 - can you all be here about 11 am?

If we're not 'quite' done, I'll sneak away and trust the place to y'all hoodlums. That aight?

kristopher_d

I like to do mine own work, so the advice is welcome. But if you need help keeping your hands off without being asked, I have a 2 foot breaker-bar in my tool chest to provide extra persuasion.

dmp

I've got a compressor - Dan, care to bring any airtools? I've an impact gun...that's about it.

dannobre

iTrader: (3)

really don't need it...I have an electric impact gun....works to take off the wheels...that's about all...that and the shock ends (don't tell anyone ) Everything else is easier by hand...nice long ratchet for leverage.......that's about it

I'm bringing lots of tools...just need a floor jack...or a bottle jack I will have everything else

kristopher_d

I can definitely do 11 if that's what works best for you.

dmp

I've got a good 2.5T floor jack, and plenty of jack-stands. Can you make the earlier start, Dan?

Nemesis8

iTrader: (3)

11AM works better for me, lets hope that Dan does not have to deal with a long border crossing

I'm just coming to watch BTW. My 8 is a dirty mess lately - dam rain!

dmp

Aight - fwiw, I'm unsure I can do ribs...1/3lbs burgers okay?

Nemesis8

iTrader: (3)

Burgers are fine - I was just ribbing 'ya

dmp

well - it's mostly cuz mary's skeerd to try ribs the first time. :D

I'm still gonna try and convince her.

:D

grinn253

Hmm, can I still attend I sort of want to pick up that present that Nemesis/Kevin mentioned earlier, heh!

I have some spring compressors that I can bring if needed?

Laters!
Edgardo

kristopher_d

Yes, please bring the spring compressors. That'll save on rental fees (nominal as they are).

dmp

We didn't use compressors for my install - but bring 'em if ya got 'em.

Going to go ahead with Ribs, btw...assuming our butcher has some.

Mary makes great pizza too I have spring compressors as well.....if you have them I'll leave them at home...the trunk is getting kinda full as it is

dmp

PM's sent, with directions.

Hi all,

I thought I'd throw my hat and tools into the ring. Jen and I will come down as well to give Mary someone to play with while the boys are all under Kris' car. I'd like to look and learn as well since I want to do the Konis in the very near future. We'll be down around 11:00. Let me know if you need me to bring and tools.

I have jack stands, floor jack, hand tools. Also just did my brakes so I have a brake bleeding pump etc. if anyone needs to do any brake work.

Looking forward to meeting Dano and Edgardo as well as seeing Kris and Darin again.

-Shaun

dmp

I've got the stands and jacks and hand-tools...so you can leave that stuff safe at home. Just bring a thirst for a Lager or B&T - as SOMEHOW i've managed to NOT drink the 24 I brought back with me.

:D

shaunv74

Lager!! Lager!! Lager!!!

shaunv74

Shes never had ribs!!!! And what, praytell, does she think god put pigs on this earth for??? The only think better than ribs are ribs with bacon on top.
